Personal sphere
Tonite, I got an email from a person who I really admire artistically, someone who’s work I have looked at for a few years now, but until recently hadn’t had face-time with. The connection was purely thru the work itself in the beginning and later evolved into email tennis. When I read the email tonite, it surprised me in that this person didn’t respond by only receiving the gratitude and appreciation that I wrote, but in turn by complimenting me, and recognizing something in me that moved her as well. This simple exchange of recognition touched me. It made me feel that we are a part of something larger than ourselves and that the passion we share for things similar, is not by “happen-stance” and without purpose. I have been extremely blessed in my life to meet various people who I have looked up to artistically and who I have learned a great deal from, even if it was just in a simple exchange of words in a short, interruption filled, distraction frenzied, interlude.
